Can't Do It
During the past week we received two ad.
vertisements— one from Warren, Ohio, and the
other from New 'York, requesting us to publish
and forward bill.. These shurpers doubtless see
the " Degisler," and we would have them to
understand that advertisements from a distance,
and especially from New Yolk, must always-be
accompanied by the money, before we can give
them an insertion in our columns. llolbrouke,
of the New_York Artists' Union diddled us out
'a2o in the same way, and taught us a les
son. Since that time we have our " eye teeth
cut." A much shorter way to transact such
business is to send $l, or whatever amount of
advertising is desired, at once with the adver
tisement.

Tito Crops. ~,,,
It is charming indeed to hear from all
sections of the country the good prospect of a
rich harvest The warm weather has immense
ly benefitted the crops, and will add to the
treasuries of the farmers of Pennsylvania, thou
sands of dollars, by its visitation. All over
the country, the cry is, " crops of all descrip
tions, never were better." Before the expira
tion of July. it is not improbable that in the sin
gle article of Flour, hi ennsequence of the heavy
impending crop, prices will lan almost fifty per
cent. A cheering fact for housekeepers.
Miraculous Escape,
On Saturday afternoon last, a man named
HEtiar DORMS= came near losing his life at
Buchetker. & Stier's Brick Yard. While 'en
gaged in digging ground from a evity, the
earth over head gave way and comtiletely em
bedded fellow workmen hastily com
menced removhq, the ground, and in a short
time succeeded in, rescuing him. Although he
was severely bruisea and had °nil of his ribs
broken, his injuries art not considered danger
ous. Ho truly made a fi , rtututte escape, as the
bulk of ground that fell ou him consisted of
twelve cart loads.

On Friday evening last a fire Lroke out in
the Foundry attached to the Thtanal Iron
Works, at llaquendaqua,above Catasimqua.—
The entire building, together with all th4,pat
terns used in the construction of Iron Works
were destroyed. The loss is said to be about
85000. We were unable to learn how it
originated.
The European War.
According to the latest news from 01c
other side,of the. water, it would appear that
the tide of fortune has changed and that suc
cess after success is attending the arms of the
Allies. By late mails, we had accounts of the
capture of Kertch and Yenikale, of the entrance
into the Sea of Azoff, and as a matter of course
of the capture or destruction of every floating
thing thereon ; following this, came news - of
the capture of Genitchi, the northernmost point
of the road across the Sirwash shallows and
• the mouth by which the Putrid Sea and the
Sea of Azoff communicate—a place, as can
be seen by a glance at the map, of great milita
ry importance, both as a. granary for the pro
duce of the hanks of the Don, and as the key in
some sort to Perekop ; and we now have the
additional intelligence that the Mamelon and
White Tower at Sebastopol, have been taken
. by the Allied forces after a heavy slaughter.—
Blow after blow seems -to fall with power and
rapidity. Pelissier is showing his mettle, and
is an obvious improvement on Canrobert,,--
Lord Raglan, to whom the Kutch expedition is
attributed, is gaining vigor, and the armies and
nations generally are in better temper. Even
in England the cry for reform has groWn
The object of the Allies seems to be to lock the
Russians in the Crimea. The only door now
left open, is Perokop. Perekop was to have
been attacked and seized in a few days.—
Whether it can be held or not in the months of
June and July, appears doubtful. The Russi
ans used to shrink, in their old wars, from
leaving soldiers in the " vale of death," where
a single night's dew often swept off whole regi
ments ; Pelissier, who thought nothing of
roasting Arabs, may not be so squeemish.
the whole there is decided and solid progress on
the part of the Allies. It is not probable that
any General ever undertook so magnificent a
military task as the one which Pelissier and
Raglan are now attempting to perform. Their
:dm is to cut otr from Russia. like a wart, the
Crimean peninsula, with all its forts and gran

• My companion being too unwell to continuo
our homeward journey ,from Davenport we
were compelled to remain thefelonger than we
expected. The delay, hci*mier, gave us an op-.
portuuity to examine the city and surrounding
country. New York once had her Astor, Phila
delphia her Girard, and Davenport now has her
Leclair. Little did ho think, however, a few
years ago, when government gave him a sectiqn
of land here, that to day he would be worth his
million. His name will ever be associated with
the history of this place. He is a half breed,'
and in early life spent much of his time with
the red men, the natives of this place. lie is
large in stature, (weighing some 300 lbs.,) and
has a heart equally large in proportion. In the
accumulation of wealth his organ of benevo
lence kept pace with his growing fortune, and
the largest portion of the city speaks of his
helping hand, while many who are sailing
smoothly down the stream of life, owe their
first start to' Mr. Leclair. His mansion sur
passes in magnificence all Others,andlle loca
tion is one of the best, situateitao an eminence
that overlooks the city, commanding a fine view
of the river far up and down. While here amid
shady groves and green fields, he and his noble
hearted companion (a counterpart of himself
live in sumptuous affluence, with neither cluck
nor child to share with them the abundance
with which they have been blessed. The
growth of this place has not been so rapid the
past year as in the one preceding. There are
thousands and thousands coming here with a
view to settle, but go away again to look dat
where, for the speculators contract considerable
land, and no reasonable amount will induce
them to part with it. About two thirds of the
population here are Germans, and it is to be re
gretted that they are seeming seine of the line.st
locations in the city.
What the result of the railroad when com
pleted, will be on the city, is beyond the ken of
my comprehension. It is to be feared that it
will prove injurious in many respects. 1 here
are many here who are anticipating re
sults, and acting under that impulse, have fixed
on prices that do not come within die reach et'
ordinary men's purses. A small house and
lot in the upper Mont of the city WaS sold for

two years ago he purchased a large tract of
land on the outskirts of the city thr Xl7 per

acre, but no money will buy it ; it lies there
unimproved, and the people are fort•ed to im
prove all around it, thus continuing to en
hance its value, and make the rich richer at
_their expense. Mercantile business at this
place is like many others, rather overdone :
rents arc high, and unless the merchant owns'
his store he will do little but work for his
landlord. This is the county seat. They
have a court house and jail, though I suppose
there are more rogues outside than in, and jus
tice is seldom meted out to those who really de
serve it. There - are several banking houses
here. That is, their signs indicate that, but
with us they would be classed under a more ap
propriate head,--" shaving shops," for woe bp
to the unfortunate victim who fats within their
clutches.
After a lapse of four days, my friend had so
far recovered that we were able to continue our
our journey up the river. Being disappointed
in the receipt of letters, we resolved to return
to Chicago by the evening train, end, then re
sume our way up the Mississippi, but alas !
how little control a man has over his own ac
tions or destiny. A kind but mysteriottsProv
dennce seems to watch over him, and an unseen
hand guides his ways. Instead of resuming our
journey as we had anticipated, we soon Mond
ourselves on our way east to join our friends.
Leaving by the 7 o'elodk train, a ride of 200
miles would occupy the most of the night. °ul
cer was not over crowded, so we feltytidesire to
take a hasty look at the fitces that surrounded
us. Now to us, a .strange lime is like a new
book, a subject fdr thought and study. The
face of a ummis like, the face of a clock, It in
dicates with accurate precision the result of the
little workings within, as clearly as the pass

ble destiny, occupations, and thoughts of those
around us. Some were apparently happy, the
smile of satisfaction scented setting on their
brow ; others appeared rather indillt-rent,
sort of dtin't-care sort of away about them,
manifesting a careless indillimence to those
about thou; others settled down in their seats•
and after a few nods of the IMad were fast
asleep thr the night.
We had a line moon, good company, and a
daredevil of an engineer, who whirled ins along
over the prairies at a fearful! speed, hail we

his last year's sale of, hogs and cattle amounted

DOLOILeI SUICIDR IN BROOKLYN,
N. Y.—A discovery of a melancholy nature was
made on IVednesday morning, at the house of
Mr. T. P. Gustin, in Clermont avenue, near
Myrtle, Brooklyn. A young man named Hor
atio N. Gustin, son of the occupant, and a fe
male of respectable appearance, but whom
no one seemed. to know, were found dead upon
a sofa in the hack porch. The young man was
cleaning upon the breast of the woman, who
was sitting nearly upright. At what time they
came there is not known. They had not been
in the house the previous night.

The young man had spent the few days past
at a friend's near Elizabethtown, New Jersey.
His mother, who had been sitting up all night
with her sick daughter-in-law, on coining home
at 5 o'clock in the morning, was the first to see
him after his return and then he was a corpse.
Upon the bosom of the female was found a
daguerreotype of the deceased young man, and
a pawnbroker's ticket from the pawnshop of A.
T. Jackson, No. 58 Reade street, New York,
for a diamond ring, culling for $4, dated June
30, No. 1184, in the name of Sarah Williams,
was found in her pocket. On the young man
was found a Master Mason's certificate as a
member of Black Hawk Lodge, P. M., Musca
tine, lowa, a pencil case, steel key, and a ten
cent piece and seven pennies..
The body' of the female was taken to the
Dead'House, where a post mortem examination
was held by Dr. Boyd, under the direction of
Coroner Hanford. A large number of persons
called to view the , body, and the most lively in
terest was manifested, especially by the ladies
of the neighborhood. Several thought they had
seen her before, but no one appeared to know
exactly where to place her. A watchmaker re
siding in Navy street identified her as Miss
Sarah Ellen Watts, a resident of Seventh street,
between Eighth and Ninth avenues, New
York, and 'said that about a year ago he
ltad• repaired a ring fin• her. Taken in con.
nection with other circumstances, there is
a doubt as to the identification. An elderly
lady said her name was Ellen Mott, and she re
sided in Coliimbia street, New York, but upon
further inquiry such was found not to be the
case. Up to last evening it was not ascertain
(d to a certainty who she was. She hail been
seen, however about 1:2 o'clock the night pre
viOus, in company with the young man, prome
nading Myrtle avenue. Several persons state
that they saw them in company at different
times,
